Death of West yirginia's Oldest Citizen.

John Goodwin Yokum, the oldest
man in the State, has just died at
the remarkable age Of LOG years.
His home was at Valley Bend, in
Randolph county. Up to his last
illness, which continued but few
days, he had almost perfect use of
all his faculties. His eyesight was
particularly keen and an old-fash-
Toned bible of large type he often
read without spectacles. His hear
ing was but slightly impaired. His
mind was perfect up to the moment
of his death, and an eye witness of
the death-bed scene says that his
head seemed much clearer than
those Of many of his aged relatives
about him. Nearly all his family
were with him, consisting Of three
sons and three daughters, the oldest
of whom was nearly So and the
youngest rs.
These old people standing about
the bed chamber, most of them with
white hair and Bonded forms, totter-
ing about on canes, hard of hearing
and helpless almost as children,
made picture seldom seen. In adj
dition to his own family were grand
children, great grandchildren, and
great-great grandchildren, a com
pany of several hundred
Mr.. Yokum had lived where he
died nearly all his life and talked q
few weeks ago of attending the cen
tennial celebration at Philadelphia
He remembers hearing his father
talk of the new constitution, and he
himself was born about one month
before the articles of confederation
went into effect. His mind was rich
ly stored with American history, and
he has distinct recollection of see
ing Washington, Jefferson, Peyton
Randolph and other prominent Vir
ginians at his fathers home. His
burial services were attended by l.,
600 people.

"Ihere is very marked dlHerence
in the methods and customs of our
people as compared with those of a
Western town." said Mr.. Frank
Raymond to the New DOMINION.
II notice it more" he continued,
since returning from the West.
Why, out there, you don't hear any
one say his town is dull; on the
other hand he goes to work to make
it lively. Every fellow in western
town considers himself committee
of one to boom the place. He talks
of it's possibilities he believes his
town has future; he goes to work
to make others believe it; and you
know right here is the secret of a
community's prosperity. A town is
just what the people make it.
Correct you are, Frank. That
is just what the New DOMINION has
always tried to teach" quoth the
scribe
'Now," continued Frank, you
have been in some portions of the
West; did you ever see party OF
men sitting hstlessly around an Of
flee deploring the dull times and de
claring that their town was nc
goodY"
We had to admit that we never
saw any such thing.
'gThe only way to advance is te
get the spirit of western commun
fly. With the same push and enter
prise; with the same faith in the flu
ture; with the same unity of pur
pose and public spirit; with the
same disposition to help each othel
and work for the common. good, oul
old town will have future-for i
has superior advantages to any west
ern town that can be named"
"The only man have seen since
I came back who said Morgantowr
was good place was Major Bell
He thinks the town good enough
and thinks more business would b,
done if our people would be a littl'
more enterprising and energetic"

HEARD ON THE STREET.
Some of the Ideas That Fill the Heads
of "New Dominion" Readers.

81 wish you would call attention
to the nuisance of laundering hand
wagons over peoples pavements
when the street suits BETTER" said a
citizen to us yesterday.
Il can't see,'' continued the citi-
zen, ''why the boys would not rather
use the street. AT every crossing
they must jerk and thump, and even
sometimes swear, to the great an
noyance of people"
Being very much like our neigh
Dor, we could not explain it.

''The NEW DOMINION endorses our
new reform administration, and so
do |, hence / want to call your at
tention to some matters that need
reforming" said prominent bust
ness man to our scribe yesterday.
GAIL right sir, let us have your
suggestions.
"Well, short time ago man was
fined for allowing a small amount of
saw dust to remain in the street;
even the merchants are scarcely al
lowed time to remove boxes and
packing when they get new goods.
Now, last night while going home l
almost stumbled over drunken
man lying on the pavement My
children saw two others in other
parts of the town. This morning /
had an errand up street and | had
my stomach turned almost inside
out by encountering at three places
as many sickening heaps of matter
elected from the stomachs of drunken
men upon the Streets"
"Well, why did you not report the
drunken men to the authorities?'
"Oh, that's a farce. You know
very well that the first time the poor
creatures get money enough they
will do the same thing over again.
The real remedy is to suppress the
sale of liquor. Every one knows
that it is sold here every day in the
week in defiance of the law. There
is where the remedy lies. / don't see
the propriety of Furnishing such
trihing offenses-if they can be call
ed offenses-and allowing the law to
be violated openly scores of times
every day."

AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS.


Washington Special: Assistant Secreta.
~ Porter said to-day hat nothing had as
yet been received at the State Department
concerning the revolution in the Hawaiian
Islands. 1t will he two or three days be-
fore the official mails, which came by the
steamer Marisposa, will reach Washington.
However, it is not anticipated that
American interests have suffered at
all by what has taken place at Homo
lulu, for it was long ago known
at the State Department that there was
great dissatisfaction with the Hawaiian
Government, as it was managed by Pre-
.lier Gibson, particularly among Ameri.
cans, a number OF whom were known to
have advised King Kalakaua to make a
change, though without avail, until now
Mr.. Porter does rot think that this Gov
eminent will be called on to interfere at all
in the affairs of the kingdom, though of
this fact more definite information car b.
given when the contents of Minister Mer-
rill's official dispatches are known.
The delay, under the existing ARA &C.
ments, in getting information from the Ha-
waiian Islands. New Zealand, and else
where in the Pacific, has been emphasized
by the slowness of the news of the present
case in being received.
1t is not unlikely that the State Depart.
ment will hereafter have an agent station
ed at San Francisco to open all official
mails for this Government that may arrive
by the Pacific steamers, and then. if nec's-
sary, telegraph the same to the State De-
partment here instead of waiting for the
mails to come, An impulse will also be
given to the project for a cable connection
of this country with the Hawaiian, New
Zealand and Australia.
